The start of a brand new year – you are probably excited for all the new things to come, you are probably working on your goals for 2014, and you might even be thinking about taxes. Yes, I said it and I hope you didn't forget. Taxes are due in around 3 months.

Who is FreeTaxUSA?

You are probably wondering who/what FreeTaxUSA even is and why you are reading a FreeTaxUSA review. FreeTaxUSA is an online tax preparation website that was founded in 2001. FreeTaxUSA is an original member of the IRS Free File Alliance and the company is also an authorized IRS e-file provider.

The company has processed millions (over 9,000,000!) of federal tax returns and they help many taxpayers each year save a good deal of money by not having to pay large fees to tax preparation companies.

The pricing structure on the website is easy to understand.

The company has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Your information is safe on their website. They make sure that everything is private and secure by using the services of Truste, VeriSign, and Security Metrics.

I am pretty sure I will owe a little bit in taxes this year. I’ve used Free Tax USA for the past couple years and love the user friendly site! It’s so convenient to have my prior year tax return info saved on their site.

I’ve used an accountant for taxes the last couple of years, but I’d like to start preparing my own now that things have been “simplified”. I have no idea if we’ll owe or receive a refund this year, I’m still waiting on a bunch of tax forms to be available.

Not sure if this giveaway is still open, but I’d love to enter! I end up going through about three tax preparation sites and then trying my husband and I jointly & separately on each. It’s so time consuming and annoying!
